is Asterix fucked up for everyone else on MAME? How come my character always looks to the right whenever I press up.

For example, I can be facing left, then if I press up then Asterix will look to the right while moving up. What the fuck nigga?
>>
I really don't know why you kids always need to argue and choose only one fucking one with "THE UNDEBATABLE BEST X OF ALL TIMES" instead enjoying all the good games the genre have.

>hurr you think you're better than anyone and won't choose a favourite game, have some personality you faggot xDDD

The first SoR is my favourite street walking and punching game and I'm aware about all the flaws the game have and even how it's technically inferior in some points than TMNT game, and I still can appreciate and play both of them.

metamorphic force ain't high tier. it's mid tier at best

yeah and that's why it's good, but it adds its own quirks too.

It's a mid tier arcade beat 'em up, but a high tier Konami beat 'em up.

it's a mid tier konami beatem up. nowhere near as good as vendetta. and not much better than x-men or tmnt4snes to be in a higher tier. i would say x-men (jap version w/ more controls) is better than metamorphic

Double Dragon II and Riot Zone are really the only ones worth playing AFAIK. Golden Axe on the PCE kinda sucks and I can't speak much of Ane-san and Takeda Shingen.

It's such a shame Final Fight wasn't ported to the SGX.

pce dd2 and riot zone are mediocre. also , kaze is mediocre too. pce has like a total of 10 good games that aren't arcade ports
>>
>>3006318
Forgot to add that the PCE also had a port of Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari (aka River City Ransom), but it's not really that much different from the FC version.
>>
It's crazy how Turtles in Time is steadily climbing in price... soon enough it's gonna be one of the top 5 most valuable games on the system, and it was wildly popular with millions of copies out there.
>>
>>3006345
I kinda liked the PCE Double Dragon II (even if it's not as good as the FC version it was based on, it's worth playing once for the anime scenes alone) and Riot Zone is the closest thing the platform has to a Final Fight-type brawler. Kaze Kiri is a single-plane brawler BTW.

All things considered though, the PCE isn't really that good of a system for belt-scrollers.

SF = Static Fighters = Street Fighter, King of Fighters, etc.

Really? Didn't know that.
>>
>>3006545
Anyone who played the game more than 3 minutes was able to do some complicated movies, inteded or not next to just jump kicks and mashing combos.

That being said, I think TiT is just OK. Not anywhere as worth the amount it is going for at the moment. I like Streets of Rage and Final Fight a lot more as beat'em ups.

Originally beat 'em ups were the fighting games, then "Versus Fighters" got more popular and took the fighting game name away from them.

Decent conversion, but I wouldn't really classify it as a belt-scroller. Only Splatterhouse 3 counts as one.

Eh, It's really more like a rather mediocre Castlevania clone with barely audible cutscenes.

Never played it, but I heard it's not as good as the original.

From my experience "beat'em ups" meaning Street-Fighter like 1 v 1 static fighters seems to mostly be a British thing. I always see that usage of the term when old UK video game magazines are posted.

5/10 as a standalone game, 2/10 for heresy against the original, 0/10 for missed opportunity and guaranteeing a remake will never be done correctly
>>
>>3008925

It's a remake of the arcade version though, despite shit 3D graphics and generic ost it's pretty much the same. Combat wasn't that good to begin with
>>
>>3008813
Not him but Sengoku 3 has no reedemable quality besides that, enemy design is pretty garbage.
>>
>>3008952
It's been a while but I'm about 90% sure it's not actually the arcade game with a 3D reskin -- its a ground up remake based on the arcade version. So they did 100 times as much work as necessary just to make a worse game.
>>
>>3008983
Have you even played TMNT4 arcade? that game already plays like garbage, so it's not much of a difference.
>>
>>3008991
>Have you even played TMNT4 arcade?
Yeah, and I guess that makes one of us. The differences are easy to spot, regardless of whether either of them are good.

Fuck you. Someone disagreeing with the incredibly bold statement of being the best game of a specific genre isn't being elitist. If you can't handle that then don't make such statements.

No, it's elitist to shit on Konami brawlers when most of them are actually pretty good.

>>3010795

>>It's elitist to shit on Konami brawlers when most of them are actually pretty good.in my opinion

FTFY, unless you're telling me you are the authority of having opinions about the best Beat'em Up.
>>
>>3010795

The guy has a legitimate point, dude. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof; you can't just shriek "EE-LEET-IST!!!!" at someone when they ask for your proof. That makes you a huge fucking faggot.
>>
>>3010803
The elitists never explain why the Konami beat 'em ups are bad, though. They just call them bad because they think that gives them more e-penis cred and to look cooler for not liking popular games.
>>
>>3010812
The TMNT arcade games are too simplistic for my taste. They don't have the variety that Capcom usually had in their brawlers. Same thing with X-Men and Simpsons.
>>
>>3010812
So? That doesn't change that people who call games like this the "OBJECTIVELY BEST EVER!!!" without explaining why are just as annoying. They just say it's great without explaining why neither.

Not all Konami games are bad, but shit like TMNT arcades play like absolute shit and are extremely repetitive even for beat 'em up standards, if you like those games you have objectively shit tastes.
>>
>>3010835
So, if I like the objectively good beat 'em ups AND the objectively shit ones, do I have objectively shit taste, objectively?
>>
>>3010835
This. The TMNT arcade games are pretty much credit-muncher, since they were made for 'Murricans who will credit feed through anything as long as it has their favorite cartoon characters on it. At least Konami knew better to balance the console versions.

Depending on the person, you'd get this response for anyone who doesn't like the genre. It's not exactly science to play a beat 'em up.
I think games like SOR2 or D&DToM are some of the best, but I also like TMNT IV and Vendetta a lot.
I don't get how people who like the genre could dislike those, but different strokes I guess.
>>
>>3011031

you're new, aintcha? i bet you that SORR guy who played SORR before trying the actual games

Is there any modern beat-em ups like this I can get off steam and bro op on the couch with friends?

And no I'm not that guy. Played SOR in the 90s on my Genesis like I hope everybody else posting on this board.

Double Dragon Neon and the Dungeons & Dragons collection are the only ones I can think of. Was Final Fight Double Impact ever released on Steam?
>>
>>3011169
>Dungeons & Dragons collection

nope
>>
>>3011206
I assumed he meant "modern" as in currently available. DD Neon is the only modern beat-'em-up in that case.
>>
>>3011116
>>3011169
>>3011290
There are a zillion old games like this on Steam as well as a zillion new ones.

All the new ones have 'rpg elements' and stats etc, the pure arcade-style beat-em-up is essentially a dead genre, as far as I know.

I think belt scrollers are games like TMNT or Final Fight where it scrolls sideways, but you have this whole wide open field to walk in
Side scrollers are ones like mega man or mario, where the entire floor is viewed from the side.

How many other games are like Turtles 4, in that their console ports are better than the arcade originals?
>>
>>3014869
Quite a couple, actually. Ninja Gaiden is a famous one. The Megadrive had a bunch of superior remakes of arcade games, such as Shinobi, Shadow Dancer, Eswat.

no, son. No.
>>
>>3014917
The MD/Genesis versions of Shinobi weren't ports either but who's keeping track

Real answer: arguably Golden Axe and Alien Storm are better than the arcade
>>
>>3015282
I always found the last two stages in MD Golden Axe to be excessive and Death Bringer is too cheap for me.
>>
>>3014869

Contra, Twin Bee
>>
>>3015315
This, not to mention the presentation of the arcade is miles better, same with Aliem Storm.
>>
>>3015282
Golden Axe is missing the turtle stage.
>>
>>3014917
But did you know Mario 2 was donkey kong picnic?
>>
>>3008782
I just love some of the OST in that game.
